Update as of August 2020. This location is closed.
Yamadaya has several locations in the LA area. Their “Factory” location is in Torrance. Check it out….
They open at 11:30 on Sundays. We arrived early and even knocked on the window since it was few minutes past 11:30 and they still hadn’t opened their doors. I even called them. Someone finally came to let us in.

They have a cool mural on the wall. A bowl of ramen and recipe for broth. Like me “strong man” posing?
They have competition across the street. Haven’t been here yet.
Hours of operation
Inside:
Proper care and attention to hot ramen. This is a good policy.
Various media attention. They’ll probably have a Ramen Zac post up there at some point.
It’s called “factory” because the inside has the theme of a factory. Lots of exposed ceilings and corrugated metal.
Karage, it’s delicious.
Pictured here is the Shio Yamadaya Special Ramen. Char-broiled chashu, shrimp wonton, tamago, menma, mizuna, and dry seaweed. It’s AWESOME.
The broth after eating most of the contents.
My work here is done.
